TopCat, > Nothing wrong with "cleaning up the bad" so long as we don't mess up the good in the process. "Implicit in the activist conception of government is the assumption that you can take the good things in a complex system for granted, and just improve the things that are not so good. What is lacking in this conception is any sense that a society, an institution, or even a single human being, is an intricate system of fragile inter-relationships, whose complexities are little understood and easily destabilized." - Thomas Sowell Tenchusatsu

"There is a lot good with this country and there is a lot bad. What's wrong with cleaning up the bad?" Nothing wrong with "cleaning up the bad" so long as we don't mess up the good in the process. That's why the conservative approach to problem solving is better.....much better than wildly throwing "stuff" at the wall and seeing what sticks. Well, it depends on what constitutes the bad. Since conservatives are responsible for a good portion of the current bad, putting them in charge of cleaning it up is not unlike having the fox guard the hen house.
